Summary
AGod of Warfan took to social media to share a blast from the past, as they rediscovered a USB flash drive shaped like one of Kratos' iconic Blades of Chaos that was still sealed in its original packaging, and shared a picture as proof. The post drew attention from otherGod of Warfans, who asked both how much the USB drive was worth, and if the owner recalled how they got it.
As one ofthe most iconic weapons in video game history, the Blades of Chaos are intrinsically tied to Kratos as a character. Made with the intent of serving the former and titularGod of War, Ares, the Blades of Chaos were given and chained to Kratos' wrists, which permanently seared his skin. Nevertheless, Kratos was able to use the blades to lay waste to hordes of foes. Though Kratos became known for using other weapons, such as the Leviathan Axe in the Norse saga, he kept the Blades of Chaos hidden away as a sign of penance for his deeds. However, Kratos eventually digs them up to protect Atreus and live up to his reputation as the Ghost of Sparta.
Though theBlades of Chaos have been replicated by fansover two decades, oneGod of Warfan rediscovered one variation of them. On Reddit, a user named FireCubX posted a picture of theGod of WarUSB Drive on the r/GodOfWar subreddit. The USB drive was still sealed in its tamper-evident packaging, with a capacity of 8 GB. Created by a Toronto-based company named HipStreet and licensed by PlayStation, theGod of WarUSB drive was created around the time thatGod of War 3was sold in stores in the early 2010s.
According to a YouTube video released by HipStreet, the USB drive came in 8 GB and 16 GB versions, and the USB plug was located towards the tip of the blade. By sliding off the protective cover, users could then plug the drive into a PC or other compatible device to suit their needs. As one of thebest games in theGod of Warseries, it stands to reason whyGod of War 3received its share of licensed merchandise during its release window. In the comments, the OP was asked by other fans how many offers they received for the USB drive.
Though 8 GB is not a lot of storage space, the fact that such a nicheGod of Warcollectible exists is a testament to its value. AsGod of Warfans brace for news atThe Game Awards on December 7, only time will tell when Kratos will wield the Blades of Chaos again.
